For the second consecutive year, Rib City was the official bat boy/girl sponsor of the Boston Red Sox Spring Training games for the 2014 season.

As part of the sponsorship, the Fort Myers-headquartered barbecue chain held an in-house drawing to select two bat boys/girls from those who registered at any Lee or Collier County Rib City location.

Hayman served as the honorary batboy at the Sunday, March 23 Spring Training home game of the Red Sox and also received four free game tickets. Haas will serve as the honorary bat girl at this Saturday's last Red Sox Spring Training game and will also receive four free game tickets.

The contest was open to anyone ages 10 to 17.

Semifinalist winners were drawn from each of Rib City's 10 Lee and Collier County locations and the on-site vendor site at JetBlue Park at Fenway South on March 15, 2014.

For the third consecutive year, Rib City served as an official concession vendor at JetBlue Park under Aramark, the Red Sox food and beverage partner and concessionaire. Rib City sold its award-winning baby back ribs, pulled pork sandwiches and sides along Fenway South Drive – a street festival reminiscent of Yawkey Way in Boston. The company also supplied a la carte items to the private suites and picnics.

"Once again, we were very excited to bring our quality barbecue products to all of the Red Sox Spring Training fans this season and additionally serve as the official bat boy/bat girl sponsor again this year," said Craig Peden, president of Rib City.
